Brand new loco dropped from crane...

[P5Nij]

Some of the 'largest' engines we've had on Britain's railways have still been very tight for space in the engine room, with all the other equipment for train heating, brakes, fuel tanks etc it's an extremely tight fit with some classes of diesel.

Ever been in the cab or through the engine room of a Deltic...?

;O)

Not a Deltic yet. I've done powercars, 47s, 37s, 67s, APT(!), 73s and most of those have been tight enough as it is!!

I do like the Deltics - saw one on youtube recently, very nice!
Didn't they use similar engines in some of the WWII PT boats?

Sorry for the thread revival but some of you may be interested in seeing footage of the damaged loco on the move to Liverpool.

Great vid - nice lowloader unlike the train. It is well and truly bent.

I assume the good bits will be removed and it will be returned sometime....

cheers
